Re: "Dice Poker -- a new Gemini dice game (alpha)"
The link and the input box state 'select and roll', (I think). I'll try to make it clearer.

Yeah it's probably the combining of multiple events (hold and roll) behind a single action that was confusing me. Also, the graphic should indicate the held dice unambiguously (add tick marks?). Moving them back and forward alone is not quite clear enough IMHO.

I think what caused most confusion is that rolls continually place new dice in the exact same positions. I made a small change: after hold/roll the dice are redrawn slightly up, so that the next turn is distinct.
I am tempted to use color, but had avoided it as I am not sure about how universa browser support is...

I recommend avoiding color unless it's an opt-in preference... Even in Lagrange, some page themes remove much of the ANSI color sequences to avoid color clashing.

I added some more visual cues to highlight newly-rolled dice and adjusted positioning. It seems to make more intuitive sense than before. I reset the server so you can all try it again...

It does feel better now.
Dice Poker -- a new Gemini dice game (alpha) — [gemini link] A 5-dice poker game, inspired by @gritty. During each of 10 rounds you can hold any of the dice to build the best hand, and roll the remaining dice. You specify which dice to hold by their values, not their position! It's a little rough, and uses cgisesh (which is WIP) to keep state, so apologies if it breaks... But give it a shot!
